内容説明

This text has been specifically developed to meet the needs for classroom and reference materials that address broad contemporary legal issues of practical relevance to agriculture. The material ranges from basic contract, tort and property law to the regulation of agricultural employment; from a variety of natural resources to provisions in the Uniform Commercial Code; and from legal issues surrounding alternative forms of business organizations to the basic discussion of federal estate and gift taxation. This book selects general principles of law for discussion and organizes them into chapters that focus primarily upon typical agricultural activities and provides a careful balance of cases and textual discussion, thus creating a text that has the benefits of a more traditional casebook and a treatise of law. It offers cases that have been chosen for their relevance to the specific issues discussed in the text and presents "facts" drawn from the original case reports; "opinions" drawn from original cases are included; and "judgments" to provide summaries of the court discussions. This edition includes expanded discussions of important topics such as bankruptcy, government regulation and environmental law and offers edited cases that now include a new feature called "facts," "opinion" and "judgment", which clarify the material in the cases for the student. It also provides new study qeustions at the end of each chapter and includes a glossary of key terms.
